Vincent has said that his ideal partner is Elaine Paige (and she was very good in her Sports Relief special!)

I haven't read the entire thread, has anyone suggested Miranda Hart ?
She loves the show, 6ft,1inches tall, 6ft,4 inches in heels? that might pose a problem.. but it would be.."such fun".

I must be one of the very few people who doesn't like Miranda Hart
I know she's a big fan of the show but I'd really rather she doesn't do Strictly.

Richard Blackwood?

Male:

Greg James
James May
Shane Williams
Gary Neville
Nicky Byrne

Female:
Katherine Jenkins
Denise Van Outen
Charlotte Church
Pauline Quirke
Helen Mirren

Girls


Stacy Solomon
Susanna Reid
Debra Stephenson
Pam St Clement
Paula Radcliffe

Boys


Richard Madeley
(my mind has went blank)

Brain bleach does that after the thought of Madeley in lycra

What about Katherine Jenkins.

Rhidian (ex X Factor)

I'm sure she's said she would like to do it when she has the time. Gethin could give her tips

Maybe someone like Russell Watson.

He seems like a nice guy and could potentially be very strong in ballroom. He'd also represent the classical contigent previously represented by Lesley Garrett and Aled Jones.

My rea-list,

Mel C
Caroline Flack
Emma Willis
Stacey Solomon
Helen Flanagan
Jenny Frost
Sheila Ferguson

Toby Anstis would be good

Mel C is trained as a dancer and has dance teaching qualifications. They ought to have a dance trained show sometime and they could let some others like tina Barrett from S Club see what they can do - she trained as a ballet dancer.

Atomic Kitten are probably too successful at present -on stage or TV- or the ones you would want are. Like Hearsay - who are also doing well everywhere. Even Steps are having a come back. Its the old problem of if you are watchable you may well be doing something when SCD comes up.

There's an awful lot of suitable people who have done DOI already - at some point they really should start to use them again.

Stacey would be interesting -she's fit and musical and smart - she's not a BBC name - much more ITV - though I think she's done some of the late night quiz shows.

You do realise how old she is now don't you? If she has a wardrobe malfunction one or both of them will end up with a broken toe.

I'd LOVE Richard Armitage to do it but don't think he ever would

Prof. Brian Cox
Rick Astley

Girls

Sussana reid

Tina Hobley

Sue Lawley

Paula Radcliffe

Boys

Hank Marvin

Rick Astley

Richard Madeley

Prof Brian Cox

John Smith. Now that's a very realistic name. Oh.....

I believe Susannah Reid is pretty useful on the dance floor.
Like to see Paula and Sue on the show but...Paula Radcliffe has said she is useless at dancing and singing and I suspect Sue Lawley could be the same. Another pair of Fiona Phillipses ?

Thát would be interesting!

Carol Vorderman?

Janette Krankie would be Fan'dabi'dozi.


Someone for the Scots to get behind

Michel Roux jr?

Basically you have to fill in the categories:

- Male soap star (preferably hunk)

- Female soap star

- Older actress

- Older actor

- Actor/actress from a well-known series

- Sportsperson

- Female presenter

- Male presenter

- Media personality

- Female singer

Some of the females on my list would be:

- Glynis Barber

- Pippa Forrester

- Naomi Bentley

- Jo Woodcock

- Amanda Byram

- Kirsty Young


And they would probably also be on my dancing wishlist
